- open iTunes - go to the iTunes Store Tab - find a free App or Song (wont matter what you choose as long as its free) - choose "get" - when asked to signin with AppleID choose "Create Apple ID" - when asked for payment information choose "none"

that should create an account without having a CreditCard assigned to it. You can find a prettier version of these directions here.
